search for: testworker

...a little difficulty understanding how to retrieve results from deceased workers (from the documentation it seems that it is possible to do this). I pasted my simple test below. If anyone could point out what i should be doing differently i''d be very grateful. My test worker: class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args) results[:done_with_do_work] = true self.delete end end TestWorker.register My rake task: task :tester => :environment do k=MiddleMan.new_worker( :class => :test_worker ) sleep 1 # the worker will die during t...

There is one little piece I'm missing. I have a Samba directory: /home/documents I have 10 Window XP users that need R/W access to this directory. I have another 10 Window XP users that need R/O access to this directory. No other Windows users should be able to see this directory. The R/W users will get access by doing a Windows Search, Computers, and click on the directory. They may also

I''m digging into BackgrounDRb and having some problems testing a worker class. The following line in my test (created from script/generate worker Test) throws an error: worker = TestWorker.new(:test_string => "testing...") Error: /activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb (NameError) from /Users/itsderek23/Projects/drb_test/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib...

Hi. I thought that BackgrounDrb was the perfect solution for my long running report production tasks. But I can''t seem to get anything useful back out of it. I set up a simple test worker that just does class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :pupil def do_work(args) @progress=0 @pupil=Pupil.find(3) sleep rand*10 @progress=100 end when I try to access this via @pupil=MiddleMan.get_worker(session[:job_key]).pupil once progress hits 100% [I can access progress fine, BTW] and...

Hi Everyone, I'm currently using dovecot SASL in postfix and passwd-file in dovecot for authenticating my users. I want to switch to using IPA instead. I have both the postfix (mailman01) and dovecot (mailman02) servers joined to the IPA domain. I have GSSAPI working in dovecot for IMAP. But, the SASL GSSAPI authentication in postfix fails with this error: warning: unknown[10.200.5.100]:

Hi there, I''m trying to create a worker to do some asynchronous web client work and update the data model with its results. It seems, however, that every call I make to an ActiveRecord subclass causes the whole thing to block. At least I think it''s blocked. Right now I''m just using debug log output. Is there a decent way to debug/test workers I can try? Is there any

Hi all I''m experiencing something strange with a :job_key, it took me a very long time to find out a worker wasn''t doing it''s job because of the name of my job_key. The first one I tried was :make_kohier, and with that name (and lot''s of other ones) I can''t get the worker to work. I do get my key in return, but the job doesn''t start
